Detailed Explanation
Explanation
According to John Dewey, 'Reflective Thinking' is central to education and problem-solving. It is an active, persistent, and logical process where a learner utilizes prior experiences upon encountering a problem, tests hypotheses, and reaches conclusions after critical evaluation.
In progressive education and the principle of 'learning by doing', this concept is considered the most scientific and authentic approach to promote critical thinking, logical autonomy, and meaningful learning among students.
- Option A is incorrect because reflective thinking is active, not passive.
- Option B is scientifically accurate and aligns directly with Dewey's psychological framework.
- Option C is incorrect as children at all developmental stages engage in problem-solving and inquiry.
- Option D incorrectly equates reflective thinking with mechanical repetition.
